Glossary

Natural gas production corresponds to the marketed production (i.e. excluding quantities flared or reinjected).

Natural gas is mainly made of methane (CH4). It is marketed after separation of the liquid fractions. The calorific power of natural gas varies according to its methane concentration. The standard coefficient used by ENERDATA is: 0.82 toe/m3, for important countries national coefficients are used.

Natural gas production



In 2009, world production of natural gas was cut down by 2.8%

. Different trends were noticed among largest gas producers. The

US became the world's largest gas producer

in 2009, exceeding Russian volumes. Its production increased by 4.4% and balanced a shrinking output in the European countries (-9%, despite increasing outputs in Norway and the Netherlands).

The OECD thus posted a slight growth of 0.1% in 2009

. Conversely, gas production in Russia was scaled down by 12% while Algeria experienced a substantial decline in its production (-6%). In the Middle East, gas production development slowed down and grew at a slower pace than the previous year (4% from 7% in 2008).
